The Rothco MOLLE Backstrap Hydration System is a 3-liter hydration pack built for hikers, campers, and outdoor users who need hands-free water access during extended activity. Constructed from 600-denier polyester, it pairs a neoprene-covered drinking hose and on-off bite valve with three rows of MOLLE loops for modular gear attachment. Available in Black, Olive Drab, and Coyote Brown.
Hands-Free Hydration on the Move
The Rothco MOLLE Backstrap Hydration System carries a full 3 liters of water in its bladder, giving outdoor users enough capacity for extended hikes or all-day field use without stopping to reach for a separate bottle. The neoprene-covered plastic hose routes the water to a bite valve within easy reach, so drinking requires no hands and no pause in movement.
Bite Valve Control Reduces Waste
The on-off bite valve on the Rothco Backstrap Hydration System stops water flow when not in use, preventing drips inside a pack or against gear. Switching the valve takes a simple motion, giving the user direct control over flow without removing the hose from reach.
MOLLE Loops and Reinforced Straps
Three rows of MOLLE loops on the Rothco Backstrap Hydration System let users attach pouches, tools, or accessories directly to the pack, building out a customized carry setup without a separate bag. Reinforced backpack straps with quick-release buckles distribute the weight of a full 3-liter bladder evenly, keeping the load stable during movement rather than shifting with each step.

Common Questions
How much water does the Rothco Backstrap Hydration System hold?
The Rothco MOLLE Backstrap Hydration System holds 3 liters of water in its included bladder. That capacity is designed to support extended outdoor activities such as hiking or camping where frequent refill stops are not practical.
What is the MOLLE compatibility used for on this pack?
The Rothco Backstrap Hydration System features three rows of MOLLE loops on the exterior. These loops allow users to attach MOLLE-compatible pouches, tools, or accessories, expanding the pack's carry capacity without adding a separate bag.
How does the bite valve work, and does it leak when not in use?
The Rothco Backstrap Hydration System uses an on-off bite valve on the neoprene-covered hose. Switching the valve off stops water flow entirely, preventing drips when the hose is not actively in use and reducing waste during movement.
What material is the pack made from?
The Rothco MOLLE Backstrap Hydration System is constructed from 600-denier polyester. The pack is ISO Certified and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP).
Does the weight differ between color options?
The Black and Olive Drab versions of the Rothco Backstrap Hydration System each weigh 1.2 lb. The Coyote Brown version weighs 1.25 lb. All three colors share the same 3-liter capacity and feature set.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.
Price Match Guarantee — Terms

- Discounted items and "free with purchase" items are not eligible.
- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.
- Price match applies to the item price plus shipping. Sales tax is excluded.
To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
